The Football News Thread 2016/17 - everything not Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

State of this. Knockaert as a central midfielder, Wood and Murray as wide forwards....is Hoddle managing this outfit?

Malone isn't even Fulham's first choice LB either.

 

[YoungWolf]

Shocking. I thought Costa might have a good shout of getting in.

Jamie Vardy has said that he has received death threats and his family have been targeted since Claudio Ranieri was sacked as Leicester City manager.

Derry City captain Ryan McBride passes away the day after leaving them to a 4-0 victory.

Just 27 years old. Awful.

Derry City played their first game since his death v Bray Wanderers last night, was a very emotional night for them.

Lost their 2 most senior players to injury in the 1st half and went in 2-0 down, fought back to 2-2 when football did show it can be a very cruel game, when Bray scored an injury time winner.

Whatever you think of Scottish football, Celtic winning the title on the 2nd of April is a tremendous achievement. They've done it in style as well, playing some lovely football and scoring so many brilliant goals.

However Aberdeen have a +36 goal difference and are over thirty points behind. Look at the depth...

 

[The Bear]

Akin to a bottom half Prem team winning League One really.

Not too difficult to win when you are in a one horse race.

I don't regard Celtic's win as much of an achievement at all given the 'quality' of their opposition. Scottish football was dull enough when it was a 2 horse race. Now Rangers are what they are its pointless.

It reminds me of my football manager days when you could take over Wolves and cheat to win the Premier by huge margins

As expected Liam Cooper of Leeds United has been charged with violent conduct, and if found guilty will be banned for more than three games as the FA said it had submitted a claim that the usual three-match ban was "clearly insufficient".

Well the old debate has sparked again about where Celtic would finish if in the PL, seems to happen every time they walk a league. It's not going to happen so it's a completely hyperthetical argument.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They would get relegated.

 

[jd1981]

They would get relegated.

No idea myself it's the arrogance of the Celtic fans they should be parachuted into the the PL at someone else exspense.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I don't think they would get relegated, but mid table at the best. Though with sky millions available they would be able to attract better players.

Fuck em.

Who cares?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

There were a couple of Celtic fans who posted on here a while ago, and they seemed very decent people.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I am sure they are. But they don't belong in the English football pyramid.
